LEO AND THE IRISH.
Archbishop Walsh Denies Having Op'
posed the Mission.


ROME, June 2S-In consequence of dis
patch from Mgr. Scillia, who represented
the Pope at the Queens jubilee in London,
Mgr. Persico and Mgr. Gaaldi have been
ordered by the Pope to proceed to Dublin to
execute their mission.
1t is stated that the Pope was induced to
send the Papal mission to Ireland by the
inSistance on the part of the English bishops,
clergymen and laymen that the reports of
the Irish bishops on the condition of Ireland
were exaggerated Wishing to get at the
exact truth the Pope decided to send un-
biassed agents of his own to make an in
vestigation. Monsignori Persico and Guald
who were chosen to make the inquiry, were
recalled while on their way to the railway
station Friday last, but left this evening for
Dublin 1t is believed that they viii con-
firm the Irish bishops reports.
ARCHBISHOP wALSH'S DENIAL.
DUBLIN, July 2S.-Archbishop Walsh de-
MES that he offered any opposition to the
Pope's purpose to send Mgr Persico on
mission to ireland.
William NJ Murphy, Nationalist member
of Parliament, has commenced proceedings
against the captain of her majesty's ship
Shannon, for seizing his yacht in Bantry
Bay last week because she carried a green
flag.
A body of police was attacked by a mob
on st. Stephens green to-day. Stones and
other missiles were thrown at the officers,

ants.
THE CRIMES BILL.
LONDON, June 2S.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, numerous new clauses to the
crimes bill were proposed by the Parnellite
members, but all We're rejected. The gov
ernment protested against wasting time
over the proposals, which, they claimed,
were applicable to common law.
Upon motion to adjourn the debate, w.
II. Smith arose and said that. after the dis
cussion of this and the preceding evening,
the House would be prepared for the-notice
he was about TO give [Cries of ''cloturen
and cheers. He would on Thursday move
that at O'Clock on Monday evening the re-
manning resolutions on the report stage be
put seriatim without debate.
The NelOS says it believes that the govern
ment contemplates the Abandonment of the
promised bill providing for trial by COM
mittee of judges and that the government
may ask an autumn sitting for financial
business only, as many members desire the
earliest possible adjournment of the present
session for the holidays. 1t is probable that
| the land bill will only pass its first reading
prior TO the third reading of the crimes bill.
The Standard says: IL is understood that
on the passage of the crimes bill the gov
ernment will issue special proclamation
declaring the National League in Kerry,
Glare and Cork an illegal association, and
will also proclaim those counties and bring
them within range of the secret inquiry
and summary jurisdiction sections Of the
act.
